[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 774830, member: 10723"] I have a 260 Rem built on a Remington Model 7 with a 1 in 9 twist Hart barrel. I had the same feelings that you have that with this twist it would not stabilize a 130 or 140 grain bullet, so I spent a lot of time shooting 120-123 grain bullets. I also load a friends Savage 260 Rem with a 1 in 8 twist. I loaded some 142 Sierra Match bullets for his rifle and they did not shoot that great so I shot them in my Remington Model 7. They shot great in my gun! What does this have to do with you? Well give the 130-140 a try they may shoot great. Look at the Hodgdon web site and you will find that you can use either Varget or H4831. The Varget may be better with the lighter bullets and the H4831 with the heavier bullets. I have used H4350, RL-19, Hunter, and RL-17, but I am sure Varget or H4831 would do well in my gun also. [/QUOTE]
